Does this allow the drive to be mounted in a desktop? Are there the standard 2.5" screw holes and everything to simply mount this?

Does not include 2.5" screw holes. This adapter is used to convert a mSATA drive to a 1.8" SATA drive form factor, which is found in some laptops/notebooks. Thanks, Mike

This requires an MSATA connection, this is not the same as a SATA connection that you see in most desktops. The entire Aleratec drive is smaller than 2.5 inches so there is no way to mount it that way without some sort of modification or cradle. MSATA drives are usually used in small, lightweight laptops where little to no power consumption by hard drives are ideal.

The SATA connector for 1.8" drive is non-standard. One will need to get an adapter to convert to standard 2.5". The best-cost effective method would be using a mSATA to SATA adapter with a standard 2.5" housing.

No, this takes mSATA and converts it to the 1.8" format used by certain laptops. I needed it for a lenovo T410s which wouldn't take standard 2.5" or mSATA drives.

A 2.5" notebook hard drive will definitely fit, but there is no way of mounting it (no holes for screws). I ended up JB-welding (epoxying) a piece of metal with holes in it to the case, and bolting the hard drive to the metal piece. You may have to get creative, depending on your hard drive configuration

I've used this in a desktop, but the form factor is the same of the others 2.5", just slightly slimmer, it should fit in any 2.5" sata bay. You can find the exact dimensions on the vendor though

This is intended for a laptop, not a Desktop. For a desktop, you would want a 5.25" desktop drive, not a slim laptop drive like this one.

This drive was designed to be used in a desktop or tower. Don't buy this one. Look for an external drive that terminates with a USB plug. It doesn't have to be USB 3.0, 2.0 will support all the speed a CD or DVD can handle.

I just tried it and it worked fine with my 2.5inch SS laptop HDD. If you notice on the image it has a gap for a 2.5 inch drive (top left). The larger overall footprint swings in to allow for traditional 3.5 inch drive. Does this answer your question?

Unfortunately there is no 2.5" hard drive mounting configuration. However, you can pick up a 2.5 to 3.5" hard drive mounting bracket for about $4 on Amazon. Then you will be able to install a 2.5" Hard Drive into this In Win case. I love that case. It's made very well just lacking in a 2.5" drive bay.

The screws that were with the mount fit the drive (SanDisk Extreme II 120GB SATA 6.0GB/s 2.5-Inch 7mm Height Solid State Drive (SSD) ) perfectly! My guess is that the screws will fit all standard 2.5" drives...

If it's in a desktop PC then you should have a 3.5 inch form factor drive. If that is the case this will work. This is a 3.5 form factor IDE drive.

Yes. It holds standard 3.5" desktop drives which have roughly the physical dimensions you gave.

Drive only does not include any mounting brackets, screws or cables. To secure in a 3.5 inch slot (or some odd 2.5 inch mounts) the reseller kit includes brackets, screws, cables (usually not needed if replacing) etc. You can buy these separately on Amazon if needed. The m.2 form factor is a next generation edge connector design for smaller then 2.5 inch drives being used by Tablets, and (eventually) laptops.

The drive will mount up, but i found out that it did not fit in my dell laptop (too tall) so i went with a newmodeus model (at 4x the price) and it was a direct factory replacement (same slant on the bezel as well) so it really depends on your drive height limitation.

Most definitely. It also comes with the mounting chassis for a desktop drive size (3.5 inch), so you don't have to buy it separately.

3.5" is desktop, 2.5" is laptop, there are caddies that will allow you to mount a 2.5" disk on a desktop, since the SATA connectors are the same

Yes this caddy accepts a 2.5" SATA drive and fits into the CD bay once the CD is removed. The drive functions as an alternative drive and can be used as a boot drive if it contains an OS.

Since this box isn't a raid box yes does not matter what drive you put in it. It will just mount it to the desktop

Technically it's mountable but the screws/holes do not seat very well. I do not understand why every electronics manufacturer shortcuts in this area.
